Annabelle's Second Chance is a small private foster home based rescue located in Central Virginia & Central to Eastern North Carolina.  We officially began our organized rescue efforts in the Summer of 1999 even though we have been unofficially rescuing homeless pets for our entire lives.  It all began with a quest to rescue and adopt out a wonderful pit bull named Annabelle.  

Our goal is to rescue domestic animals from cruelty, neglect, abandonment and to teach responsible pet ownership. We work specifically with the bully breeds but occasionally open our doors to cats and other mixed breeds. We work with local humane agencies, shelters, all breed rescues and individuals to help them place their adoptable bulldogs.  ASC acquired its federal 501(c)3 in 2005 and is a recognized non profit agency.  Our purpose is to rescue adoptable bulldogs and place them in appropriate homes one dog at a time and improve the reputation of the breed by only placing those dogs that match the proper temperament of the American Pit Bull Terrier.
